Why I think show swaps are better than SEO for podcast marketing
My audience grew from real connections made through guest appearances, not from search results.

Your last show swap, what was the actual listener boost?

Bet the boost was just a temporary spike. People get so hung up on these numbers like they mean everything. Listener count is one tiny piece of a much bigger picture. Obsessing over it misses the whole point of why most people even make shows.

Notice how the best things grow from real talk, not just being found. @grayc27, that boost from my last swap turned into regular listeners who actually chat with me, which is way better than a search click. It's like making a friend at a party versus someone just walking past your house. The real connections are what actually last.
